A new survey reported by the Guardian finds that around three in four GPs in the United Kingdom say they are too busy to talk with their patients in depth. The findings point to mounting pressure in general practice, with doctors citing workload and time constraints, and are likely to fuel debate over NHS funding, staffing and health policy.
Why now: The findings highlight ongoing concerns about NHS capacity and GP workloads, a politically sensitive issue in the UK.
